What can I do while my boyfriend plays video games?

r/

My boyfriend has decided to spend today in our room playing his game. It’s the only TV we have access to, so I can’t play my own games or watch anything except on my phone, but I don’t have enough storage to download streaming apps. We live with his parents and they work from home, so I’d rather not leave our room to bake or watch something on a different TV. They try to keep the house quiet while they work.

I work 4 days a week, and he has a flexible job, so we were both home yesterday and he was gaming then too. I colored, drew, read, cleaned, worked out, and played on my phone…but now I don’t want to continuously do that stuff again just to keep busy. I’m so bored. I don’t even have any money to spare to go out and get lunch by myself or anything, and all of my friends are either busy or working today. Any ideas for what to do?

    Save up for Playstation Portal so you can both use the TV at the same time
